1) Where are you from? Do you have children/grandchildren or a pet? I am from Montgomery city! Decided to work for my high school rivals ? I have two huskies (Boomer & Timber) and two cats (Fred & Ted)
2) Name an interesting fact about you and/or your family.
An interesting fact is that my parents own Olivers Restaurant! It used to be in Montgomery City, but it is now in Warrenton. I have worked there for the last 5 years.
3) When did you first become aware that you wanted to be a teacher?
I decided I wanted to become a teacher after my encountering my favorite 8th grade teacher and then for sure after my freshman year of high school. I NEVER thought I would teach high school, but here I am!
4) Was there a special person in your life that influenced your decision to become a teacher?
My 8th grade science teacher is the most spectacular woman and educator I have ever met. She genuinely cares about every single one of her students and loves to watch them succeed. She is one of my favorite people.
5) What are you looking forward to the most in working with the students at NCHS?
I’m excited to teach kids like I got to grow up with and I think it will be a lot of fun! I am also very excited because this is my first official “big girl job” and NCHS seemed to be a perfect fit for that role!
6) What does Thunderbird Proud mean to you?
Thunderbird Proud to me means someone who is excited and feels/has good qualities about where they came from! They hold themselves to a higher set of values and carry themselves in a way that their fellow classmates, teachers, family members and friends would be happy to see! I am ecstatic and proud to be an official Thunderbird, so much I traded in my Montgomery County blue for Thunderbird green! ?
